Wrap-around Extension
A wraparound extension is one of the most transformative ways to reimagine your home. By extending both to the rear and the side, this design unlocks the maximum amount of space, giving you the freedom to create a large open-plan kitchen diner, a family living hub, or even flexible zones that blend cooking, dining, and relaxation.
For many London homeowners, wraparound extensions are the key to modern living. They bring in natural light from multiple angles, improve the flow of your ground floor, and create a stronger connection to the garden. Whether you prefer sleek glazing, roof lanterns, or bi-folding doors, we’ll tailor every detail to your lifestyle.
